Keeping the Computer from Being Damaged Keeping the Computer from Being Damaged Your computer is a delicate device that requires careful handling. To keep it from being damaged, keep these precautions in mind: Do not allow your computer to be subject to any physical shock. Do not place anything heavy on your computer. Do not pour liquid onto your computer. Keep the computer at least 13 cm (5 in.) away from any electrical appliance that generates a strong magnetic field such as a motor, magnet, TV, refrigerator, or large audio speakers. Use your computer when temperatures are between 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F), between 10°C to 35°C (50°F to 95°F) when operating with diskettes. Do not disassemble the computer. Do not scratch, twist, hit, or push the surface of the LCD. Remove the battery pack and keep it in a cool place if you will not be using the computer for a long period of time. Insert a diskette straight into the external diskette drive. Inserting it at an angle can damage the front of the external diskette drive. Do not place more than one diskette label on a diskette. Two or more labels can cause a label to tear apart inside the drive and cause damage to the external diskette drive. Occasionally clean your computer as follows: Use a soft cloth moistened with nonalkaline detergent to wipe the exterior of the computer. Gently wipe the LCD with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or detergent. Chapter 2. Getting Familiar with Your Computer 25
